While his military reputation seems well deserved there are others who don't seem to attract the same 'hero worship', I sometimes wonder where all this began and find myself thinking it was probably in the pages of 'Signal'.


This all underlines the Glamour of certain vehicles, the thread is on the M4 Sherman but drifts, as such things often do, onto Wittman, probably purely because he eventually rode a Tiger. If any real comparison is to be made with the Sherman then the Pz.3 & 4 are far more appropriate comparitors.

(I can't remember mentions of Shermans at Villiers bocage either??, I'll have to double-check though)
